Having trouble getting append_list to work

Support Request

Recently purchased the enterprise edition for stash ... Am attempting to compile a related artists list from a combination of EE entries and Playa parents entries.  The append_list doesn’t seem to want to append the list.  Looking for help with that. 

The example can be seen here: http://dev.nrm.org/artists/norman-rockwell (scroll down on sidebar to the stash items ... all that will go into the stash is the EE entries and when the Playa parents are attempted to add it just adds the {title}, etc.

Ultimately what I am looking to do is combine these two lists, sort them alphabetically and remove duplicates.  I *think* I have that in place but need to get the append to work to test.

Here is the code I have for this ... am also happy to provide logins if helpful.

UPDATE:  I was able to now get append to kind of work ... it does append one of the playa parents, but doesn’t add the full list (there is about 15 of them).  Here is the latest code:

Append list can only add one row to a list at a time, you can’t capture multiple rows like with a set_list.

I’d suggest you create two separate lists are join them together. Please see:

Thanks Mark.  Appreciate the direction here.  Will work on this now.
